Humpback Lodge is a holiday establishment situated in the quiet village of Sodwana Bay, just five kilometres from the beach as well as within reach of other local tourist attractions and activities.
Sodwana Bay is located on the KwaZulu Natal north coast, between St. Lucia and Lake Sibhayi. It is located in the Sodwana Bay National Park, and the Maputaland Marine Reserve, and is a popular reef diving destination.
The area enjoys a sub-tropical climate, which makes the winter months moderately mild, but liveable while the summers are often characterised by what can be termed ‘beach days’.
It is in this setting that Humpback Lodge offers comfortable backer and self-catering accommodation and amazing views of the surrounding area. Its location means it’s the ideal base from which to explore the North Coast as a couple, family or group.
Expect beautifully-decorated rooms, personal touches and attention to detail, which has kept many of their previous guests returning. Within walking distance from the bottle store, butchery and general shop.
